The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center’s Internship Challenge is a year-round workforce development program focused on enhancing the talent pipeline for life sciences companies in Massachusetts. The program creates hundreds of new internship opportunities each year for college students and recent graduates who are considering career opportunities in the life sciences by enabling startups and small companies to hire paid interns. Companies with 100 of fewer employees are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $8,160 per intern, based on $17/hour for three months. The program also helps employers find the talent they need by providing access to an online platform with a searchable application database. To date, the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center has supported more than 3,600 internships for over 700 companies throughout the Commonwealth.
